No worry in case of unusual weather, comfort on both floors is a push of a button away.

The penthouse can provide rare privacy for two couples or for a family with older children who appreciate space of their own. In all, there’s a living room, a dining room, a fully equipped kitchen, two bedrooms, one on each floor, and two and one-half bathrooms. There is air conditioning on both floors.

The main floor bedroom with an adjacent half bath is furnished with a queen-sized bed and office alcove. A full bath and laundry facilities are on the same floor. The upper-floor suite offers a king-sized bed and an adjacent room for reading, sky and water gazing or as a third, single bedroom. There’s a full bathroom (shower only) on that floor.

Internet for streaming your favorite shows.

The Rockland Harbor Lighthouse is visible from the third floor and the snug, second-floor deck and early risers can treat themselves to spectacular sunrises over Penobscot Bay from there or most any room.

One caution: The penthouse starts one flight up, making it unsuitable for people with mobility problems and for very young children.

Finally, five things that made us fall in love with this wonderful place in Midcoast Maine:

1. Rockland is an easygoing coastal gem with a unique, hard-scrabble history, given to reinventing itself, where the people are welcoming and the water accessible by schooner, ferry, foot and lobster boat.

2.In fact, one of our favorite treats is a ride with Captain Jack, a fisherman who tells you almost all about his trade as he pulls up lobster traps. Just six people aboard at a time. Find out more at

3.The city offers foodies a mix of coastal and summer classics. For a start, lobster at Claws, Maine’s most vaunted hotdog at Wasse’s and blueberry pie most anywhere – as well as upscale dining at the intimate In Good Company and garden-to-table Primo with Melissa Kelly, a James Beard “best chef in the Northeast.” On the home front the reward for a 4-minute walk is a sunset aperitif at Archer’s on the Pier, a good spot too for seafood and generous shore fare.

4.There’s plenty of local food to gather by foot and enjoy at home, too, from Rock City coffee roaster, the neighborhood Southend Grocery, Jesse’s Market for fish or Wiggen’s Meat Market and the new gourmet Main Street Markets downtown.

5. For entertainment and education just down the street, Rockland boasts the Farnsworth Museum, home of Andrew Wyeth’s works, the Center for Maine Contemporary Art, the Children’s Museum, the Strand, a downtown theater with a full, eclectic schedule of cinema, music and comedy and the Museum of Sail, Steam and Power, featuring maritime history, Maine’s only Foucault’s Pendulum and evening musical delights, live and introduced by the inimitable Captain Jim Sharp.

One-on-one attention is a rarity these days. Luckily, at SummerMaine, it is the foundation of our business. So don't expect to get a receptionist or have to press "1" for rentals. When you contact me, you are contacting a company that truly wants to make your vacation as perfect as possible. As crazy as it sounds, I am as excited about your vacation to Maine as you are! SummerMaine is essentially a matchmaking service — a matchmaker pairing vacationers with the perfect house to make their vacation just right. If one house isn't the right fit for your needs, I will help you find another that is. After you find the house, look to SummerMaine to be a guide to the area. Want to eat a lobster dinner on a dock or take in a world-class concert? How about a ride on a lobster boat or a day at the spa or the perfect place to have a picnic? Just ask...I'll point you in the right direction. The reason SummerMaine is so good at this? I love Maine — after all, I was born and raised here and ultimately made to decision to return after 10 years of living "away." Being brought up in the small community of Tenants Harbor gave me a unique view of the world which has been enhanced by the opportunity to explore places outside of Maine's borders. I enjoyed everywhere I went but, after all, there is no place like Maine! I know why people want to come here, to vacation here and to be part of our unique way of life — whether it is for one week or the entire summer. The Midcoast area is such a special place. The feeling you get here is about more than being on vacation. It is about an experience and an escape for family and friends. I believe in the absolute joy of spending time in Maine and that's why I love this business. I love sharing a place I cherish with people who may have never experienced its pure simplicity and welcome back those who have already fallen in love with it. SummerMaine is Maine and SummerMaine is where your perfect vacation starts. We look forward to making you vacation a memorable one! See you this summer, Fletcher
